The IIDA SoCal 2024 Leaders Breakfast looks to connect the diverse group of professionals in our industry, celebrate design excellence through our 2024 honoree, and offer a motivational and thought-provoking keynote speaker. Leaders Breakfast is our opportunity to put our chapter’s core values, Connect, Community, Advocate, Cultivate and Aspire on center stage!
The IIDA Leaders Breakfast is an annual international event series that celebrates design’s importance in the global marketplace by honoring the people who are both the legacy and future of design.
This is made possible through the support of IIDA Headquarters, International Benefactor MillerKnoll, and Media Partner Interior Design.

SPEAKER
Vijay Gupta is the founder and Artistic Director of Street Symphony, a nationally recognized pioneer in creating musical experiences for people in reentry from homelessness, addiction and incarceration. Since 2011 Street Symphony’s communities of artists have presented thousands of musical workshops, performances and lessons in Los Angeles shelters, clinics, county jails, state hospitals and prisons – delivering the music of classical, choral, Jazz, Reggae, Mariachi and West African drumming traditions to communities beyond the concert hall. Vijay believes that the transformation brought on by music is a “two-way symphony”: a pathway to mutual healing.
Vijay is a celebrated violinist, curator and music director, performing for over 20 years. A dynamic recording artist, Vijay’s critically acclaimed discography includes an array of chamber music and solo works. He was named to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2024 and he is the author of a forthcoming memoir on the intersection of loss, hope, and music.
